Mintbet Review

NOTICE: Mintbet has closed and ceased trading online. New customers are no longer being accepted and existing customers should withdraw any funds immediately.

Fear not, Mintbet was a white label running on the FSB platform. There are other sites that are virtually identical that you can bet with, Quinnbet and Black Type are two that we recommend. These sites have the pretty much the same markets and offers available, the main difference is the branding.

Alternatively see our New Betting Sites page for a full list of new brands for UK punters.

Mintbet is a new UK licensed online sportsbook and casino run by a very experienced operator McBride Racing Ltd, a Irish family bookmaker established in 1979. The site is powered by FSB Technology and so on the face of it they look a lot like many other new online-only sports betting sites. Dig a little deeper however and you will see this brand is different.

The site is very well stocked, offering a wide range of markets and large depth, including full horse and greyhound racing, along with every other traditional sport. Promotions are excellent for a bookmaker of their size too, the company state that they don’t provide unattainable offers, only good value deals with long term rewards.

Sports Offer – Free Bets For Life

New Customers Only, Terms and Conditions Apply, 18+ Years Old

The welcome offer from Mintbet sets the general tone for what this site is about. They are interested in providing longer term value to existing customers and this is reflected in their suite of retention offers.

New and existing customers can get free bets for life, but what does this mean? Effectively every week that you spend £100+, as one or several wagers, with odds of evens or greater, you will receive a £10 free bet.

The week runs from whatever day you register on. If you miss a week there is no penalty to entering the following week.

Free tokens are awarded on the day after your qualifying week ends and remain valid for a further 7 days. You can use this on any sports markets with odds up to 25/1.

Don’t worry that you won’t have enough to bet on to reach your weekly criteria. There is enough depth with this bookie to cover everything a typical UK punter would need.

There are around 25 different sports to pick from with full in play markets and great depth. A top footy match for example will have around 150 lines to wager on which is easily comparable with the big industry players.

As a package in general Mintbet has one of the easiest to use sites on the web with a clean crisp look and fantastic navigation (as with all FSB sites). I think this site is going to be around a long time, they’ve got the right model by rewarding regular customers.

Casino Offer – £500 Welcome Bonus

Should you want to play casino games more than sports bets then Mintbet also have a welcome package for their Microgaming powered instant play casino.

The 100% deposit match offer starts at £10 up to a maximum of £500. The bonus is issued automatically on your first deposit and carries a 30x the deposit + bonus amount rollover in 30 days.

Slots count 100% to the wagering requirement, roulette and blackjack 10% and poker 5%; baccarat and progressive slots do not count to the turnover. A maximum of £100 per bet/spin will count to the rollover and maximum winnings resulting from the bonus after wagering is complete is set at £3000.

Existing Customer Promotions

The range and type of long term offers for punters is the strongest aspect of Mintbet. There are no flash in the pan deals here, no short term promotions that are only available on a Tuesday at midday, or require huge stakes or convoluted terms to access.

Here you can reliably get added value offers that will give you consistent rewards, without you needing to actively think about claiming them most of the time. This really is the way it should be and you have to applaud Mintbet for their choice of offers, which in many cases are better than some of the big well known bookies.

Below is a list of some of the promotions available at Mintbet, there are however more that you can read about on the site:

Football Trebles & 4-fold 20% Win Boost – Claim up to three times each week, get 20% extra winnings, in cash up to £50, if all your selections (min odds 1/2+) win by more than one goal.

5+ All Sports Acca Insurance – This accumulator insurance is open to all sports, most similar deals are restricted to football. Picks must be pre-match result markets, 1/2+, refund as a free bet up to £10.

Horse and Greyhound Best Odds Guaranteed – Most sites provide BOG for UK and Irish horse racing now but not many do for greyhound racing too (all UK and Irish BAGS/BEGS).

Horse and Greyhound Money Back Second – Get a stake refund, as a free bet up to £25, if your dog is second to the favourite in any RPGTV race, along with meeting specific money back 2nd offers. Also get regular horse racing second place offers, e.g. beaten by a head.

About Mintbet

Mintbet launched in 2017 and is effectively a rebrand of McBride Racing Ltd, a family run independent retail bookmaker in Ireland and Northern Ireland, set up in 1979.

The look and feel of the site may be familiar as it is powered by FSB Technology software, used by several betting sites. With over 40 years experience in retail bookmaker however the owners of the site have created a superb package for such a new site.

It is rare for new betting websites to have horse racing alone but Mintbet offer both horse racing and greyhound racing, with best price guarantees and good insurance offers for both. It is obvious to anyone who has bet with any new bookmakers recently that there is more behind this brand than investment.

Mintbet is still developing of course and is yes to offer services such as live streaming, but few new sites can boast the features these have already. They do have cash out, in play betting, mobile app, a decent blog, active social media, and all of those very good loyalty promotions discussed earlier.

If you like to stake a bit higher too and you deposit £500+ each month there is a VIP scheme that gives 10% of loses back up to £2000 each month, both sports and casino count (min £5, money back as free bets).

I wouldn’t say Mintbet would replace your main bookmaker entirely yet, but they are one of the best for giving back to customers and for that reason alone are worth holding an account with.
